Latest F-35 HMD and in flight pictures (Flight 10~18)
Use the fawwwwwce, Jon. Let go! Reach out with your feelings!!
And what's the deal with the odd-colored left flaperon and stab TE, anyways?
Why does "monosyllabic" have 5 syllables?

Halo, anyone? But seriously, the HMDS and the cockpit certainly give you the impression that the Lightning is going to be one hell of a machine.

The white coating on the wing is to enable fuel venting spray patterns to be seen. The upper part of the HMD is out of view, by the way (see caption under Flight#11).

Some details about the HMDS from the current FlugRevue magazine.
- LCD with 1280 x 1024 resolution
- Magnetic sighting system (rather than optical)
- FOV probably 30° x 50°

The HMD looks amazing- a hell of a lot cooler than the JHMCS in use on 16s, 15s, and 18s...especially w/ a projection over 2 eyes and integrated night vision! In tech school one of my instructors told me that the F-35 had a completely new pilot gear ensemble...I'm pretty sure it's the same MBU-20/P mask, but what about the flight suit, harness (or that 5-point restraint system??) or any other equipment? Does anyone have any links or info??

I was just reading up on this the other day.
My question pertains to the F-35 HUD (or lack thereof). Does anyone think that not using the traditional HUD on the F-35 will come back to bite us in the future? Much like not putting a gun in the early F-4s - What if we run into some unforeseen problem that has to be addressed with a HUD?

Are there any ALS/Flight Equip troops on this site that are involved w/ the F-35 program or expecting some parked on their ramps in the future? I'm just wondering what the transition from Viper to JSF is gonna be like for Flight Equipment, since it's a whole new equipment ensemble.
